Chapter 738, grievances
Chapter 738, grudges, love and revenge
Zhang Xiaojun's face was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but smile bitterly. To be honest, of course he hoped to stand on the side with Cai E. Isn't it a friendship between classmates? With Cai E's identity as the Minister of National Defense in charge of the government, his career will be much smoother after returning to China. China has always been a society with a network of relationships, and it is not wrong to support each other. However, he and Cai E and Jiang Baili are called "Three Masters of Lu Shi". Now Cai E and Jiang Baili are all famous, but they have achieved nothing. They have only revenge and have fallen into a state of refuge in a foreign country. They are really sorry for their face.
Now that he heard Cai E say this, he sighed secretly and said, "Songpo, I am one year older than you, and you call me brother. When the country is in trouble, I cannot do my best to fulfill the responsibilities of every man. Now the country is stable. I am so embarrassed and I am really guilty."
Cai E naturally knew Zhang Xiaozhun's situation. He sighed and said a little serious: "Brother Yunnong, you are not unwilling to serve the country. This is just a bad luck and no way to serve the country. These are two meanings. Furthermore, as long as you have the intention to serve the country, why bother or later? Even if you devote yourself to the country in your sixties, it is worthy of praise. As you said just now, the country is in a mess, and it is not too late to make efforts."
Zhang Xiaozhun nodded slowly and said seriously: "You are right. A real man should not be indecisive."
Cai E smiled and said, "You are right. You know, even if you don't have Huang Keqiang, Baili and my recommendation, Wu Zhizheng would also value you. Your reputation in Lu Shi was not a false impression."
Zhang Xiaozhun let go of his heart and smiled and said, "The past false reputation is very good, good men are determined to be in the present. Since that's the case, I will make some arrangements in the afternoon. I will send my family back to China tomorrow and the next two days, and then stay here to wait for Songpo to recover from illness and then arrange a separate ship."
“So very good.”
Zhang Xiaojun left the hospital after noon to arrange his return to China. Xiao Fengxian was also preparing for lunch. Although Fukuoka West Hospital currently attaches importance to Cai E's identity, the Western Hospital could not arrange home facilities for Cai E and his group in the ward. On weekdays, Xiao Fengxian would stay with Cai E, but if she wanted to cook, she had to go to the apartment of Fukuoka Medical College to use the stove, prepare the meal and then deliver it all the way.
Cai E felt sorry for a girl who had to work hard on everything himself, so he quickly said, "Wait, I'm not hungry yet, otherwise you can help me out for a walk."
At the beginning of the month, Cai E was able to get out of bed and walk. Although he could only walk for a short time, he still insisted on walking every day so that he would not feel weak when he lay in bed for too long.
Xiao Fengxian said: "There is some wind outside today, so why don't you go there later. If you are sick and injured, you should pay more attention."
Cai E smiled and said, "What do you think of me? No matter how big the wind and waves have been experienced, can this difficulty still kill me?" As he said, he had already helped off the boat by the edge of the bed. Xiao Fengxian had no choice but to find a nightgown to put on Cai E, and even tied his chest tightly.
The two left the ward, and there were four special service personnel in casual clothes in the corridor. When they set off from Guangzhou, Wu Shaoting specially arranged a special service team to accompany him. Even if the Japanese would not do anything to Cai E at this time, the decent Minister of National Defense must not be missing. Cai E and Xiao Fengxian first walked around the hospital, and then insisted on going to the Western Academy to see the scenery of Japan. The special service personnel kept a certain distance and tried not to affect Cai E from beginning to end.
After passing the street and coming to the garden of the medical school, Cai E suddenly spoke, "You don't seem to want to go back to China? Do you think Japan is very good?"
Xiao Fengxian held Cai E's arm, looked a little confused, and sighed and said, "Where is this? No matter where the general goes, I will definitely accompany him, unless the general no longer needs Xiao Fengxian."
Cai E said seriously: "What are you talking nonsense? If you weren't by my side this time, I really don't know how to suffer in the past two months. Why, are you worried? When Brother Yunnong mentioned that you returned to China in the morning, your face was already wrong. Why are you saying such things for no reason now?"
Xiao Fengxian has many conflicts in her heart. She loves Cai E deeply, but how can she forget the revenge of killing her father? She watched Cai E wholeheartedly and had to fight with Wu Shaoting for this country all day long. How could she calm down her mood? Even if Wu Shaoting really changed the fate of China, even if Wu Shaoting really respects Cai E, she cannot let go of the deep hatred of blood.
At first, she heard that it was Wu Shaoting urging Cai E to travel to Japan to treat her illness. She originally thought that Wu Shaoting deliberately sent Cai E off, but after being diagnosed in Japan, she found out that Cai E's illness was in danger. During this period, there may be telegrams in China, and many of them came from the General Office of the Consul. Wu Shaoting kept condolences in the telegram and hoped that Cai E would return to China. I think the previous suspicion was wrong. Sometimes she felt that she could not avenge her father's death, not because of what Wu Shaoting did, but because of Cai E's ideal of serving the country in his heart. He always felt a sense of fear and self-blame when she thought of this.
During this time in Japan, she devoted herself to taking care of Cai E, but felt that she had let go of many concerns. She now felt that she still had an excuse to escape. If she didn't return to China, she would no longer have to pay attention to the grievances of the past and no longer had to meet Wu Shaoting. Although this is self-deception, it is better than being in a real dilemma.
"General, I... shouldn't say anything useless. Since I am lucky enough to be by the general's side forever, there will naturally be no complaints." Xiao Fengxian murmured and said in a daze.
"Oh, it seems you still can't let it go." Cai E sighed.
"General, what were you...what were you saying?" Xiao Fengxian raised her head strangely, and looked at Cai E with a bright eyes with confusion. She suddenly felt panic in her heart.
"Wu Zhenzhi has told me all." Cai E stopped and held Xiao Fengxian's hand affectionately.
"What..." Xiao Fengxian looked surprised.
"You are the daughter of Guangzhou General Fuqi. Wu Zhenzhi forced your father to death during the Guangzhou uprising." Cai E said deeply, his face a little hesitant. He originally thought that these words would never have to be said, but he did not expect to miscalculate them.
"General, did you know when the society knew?" Xiao Fengxian's body trembled, and a crystal color appeared in her big eyes. Her thin cheeks were covered with a strong sense of sadness for a moment.
Cai E hesitated for a moment. Although Xiao Fengxian was just a fair woman, he had never promised to be honest with each other forever, but Xiao Fengxian was his confidante. Since she could be honest with each other, how could she hide anything? Thinking of this matter for so long, he suddenly felt guilty.
He sighed again, and he held Xiao Fengxian's hand tighter and said, "Wu Zhenzhi sent me to Guangzhou from Wuzhou, and he told me about this. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with you, but after coming to Japan, he couldn't bear it... so he has been hiding it until now."
Xiao Fengxian said, "General, Wu Shaoting told you about this. Do you want to deal with me when you are in Japan?" She said, looking at the special service personnel in the distance, all of whom were sent by Wu Shaoting.
Cai E frowned and said, "What are you thinking about? Wu Zhenzhi told me about this, but he didn't reveal anything. He just hoped I knew about it. It seems that the resentment in your heart is too deep."
Xiao Fengxian was full of tears in her eyes, biting her teeth and saying, "That's me..."
Cai E was silent for a moment, and then said seriously: "I won't evaluate this matter. If you can't feel at ease with the burden in your heart, just leave it in Japan for a little longer."
Xiao Fengxian looked up at Cai E and sighed, "I won't drag the general down. Don't worry, General. This matter is my private matter and I will handle it."
Cai E was in a very complicated mood. He was a person who was clear about public and private affairs, so naturally he would not let private affairs affect his desire to serve the country. He just felt that Xiao Fengxian had been careful in the past two months, so he said that he would stay in Japan for a few more days. However, with his personality, private affairs were definitely not allowed to be put before business. He sighed secretly and had to say nothing more.
Back in front of the hospital inpatient building, Wang Wen'an, the captain of the special service team who traveled to Japan, was waiting in the corridor. After seeing Cai E, Xiao Fengxian and others, he quickly came up to meet him.
"General, you are finally back. Bei Zhi is planning to send someone to find you." Wang Wen'an said in a slightly anxious tone.
"Oh? Is there anything important?" Cai E asked strangely. The special service team should know that they have the habit of walking every day, so they naturally don't worry about getting lost.
"Yes, several gentlemen came from Tokyo and claimed to be Chinese revolutionaries. They were in a hurry to see the general. I kept saying that they would come back another day, but they didn't listen to the advice and were waiting in the lounge now." Wang Wen'an briefly said the matter.
"The Revolutionary Party of China?" Cai E frowned.
"This is one of them." Wang Cong'an took out a business card and handed it to Cai E.
Cai E took the business card and took a look. It was not a private business card. It was called the Chinese Revolutionary Party at the beginning. The name in the middle was "Liao Zhongkai". There was also a position as "Organization Department Minister" in the lower left corner. Although he had never met Liao Zhongkai, he had heard of Liao Zhongkai's reputation. When he was studying in Japan, he had close contacts with the Tongmenghui. Even though he had not met with some revolutionary patriots, he had quite a letter exchange.
